[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 963416, member: 13032"] You're right. Braces provide a psychological lift, but that's all. And there is no brace that would prevent an ACL or PCL tear. Those injuries occur from forward or backward motion. Braces mostly support lateral movement. And I haven't seen stats, but I would bet that most ACL tears happen on artificial turf. The stuff is like velcro. The cleats get caught in the turf fibers and get stuck. The upper body keeps moving, the knee doesn't. Two that come to mind are Jordy Nelson in a pre-season game years ago, and OBJ is the Super Bowl. [/QUOTE]
